in every aspect of the word "judgement" ... which can be very broad...

do you care about the opinions formed of you?

when things are good, then who really argues. but if it's bad, will you confront it?

what do you do to avoid certain judgement? or do you?

do you share or retain good/bad news?

hide everything about your personal life from your work life? or do you really have nothing to hide?

online profiles... how much do you share or restrict?

I dont care about opinions formed on me, i know who i really am and thats all that matters. If judged poorly- i dont care and wont confront it unless its said directly to me then i'll set the record straight. Good/bad news, i dont know how to do either tbh, i just deal with my own stuff. I also dont know how to act sad or happy (i think ppl expect "showing" when sharing), i can feel it thou. I do share here my stuff, i share the shallow stuff much easier and it takes time and getting over it before i could share the deeper things.

Opinions, I care but then I dont. Some people like me, some dont. Like Ninjafish, I would prefer to be liked, or maybe moreso accepted, by everyone but thats never the case, which is fine.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I dont see a point in confronting what someone thinks of me. Ive never been one to care to the extent of trying to change the way Im percieved after an opinion is formed.

To avoid certain judgements, I dont do too much. I do try to smile, since standoffish, stuckup etc are some of the opinions people usually have. I think Im gonna stop doing that much, and try to not hide my moods anymore. They can be ugly, but to be accepted is to show yourself imo.

I tend to retain both good and bad irl.

It depends on who wants to know and why, but I dont feel I have too much to hide. I wont say that im a wide open book, but Ill spill things, like what a situation is. Im just not spilling feelings. To me, thats personal.

Online profiles. I think I share enough.

love the responses here. and thank you ninjafish 🙂

this is kind of one of those concepts where you think about how you think... and if you are like me, it turns into the movie inception and you think too deep and reach too many sublevels of thinking and then derail and your head asplodes.

watercup i think i'm a bit like you in that unless im directly confronted, i wont get confrontational. in my mind, it as a bit like a rumor in that case... which i cant be bothered with. id rather not stoop to the level... let my actions and who i am speak for themselves and who ever is worth their salt will know me personally b4 making an assumption or listening to what so-and-so said... etc... you know what i mean.

chance11... exactly. pick and choose your battles. some, if neg., judgements aren't worth my time. and i honestly believe, in the case of a certain caliber of person, it won't matter what the hell they say about me.

xygen... yep, everything is certainly case by case.

inana, i feel ya. after a while it gets to be exhausting trying to be less myself for the sake of anything but me.

i feel that right now... im unfortunately at a time and place in my life where i'm so drained by one thing that i really have to fake it to be accepted. in other words, im really trying to avoid certain judgement and coax the positive. it's not exactly working as much as id like, or maybe i need to be more patient and lower my standards, but... i think if i were to say what i wanna say, behave how i wanna behave, and confront what i really want to confront... lol, i'd be hungry on the streets 😛

i care about the opinions formed of me for sure.

i definitely censor my mouth and smile and ask as much about others and what's new and good in their lives... for the regard that i want.

i share it all unless it's personal... even bad news, but never for pity or sympathy. if someone asks me about my weekend and something crappy happened, i'll share it. but not without leaving the impression that i have it handled. i won't throw pity parties for myself.

at work... if it's socially acceptable and not compromising my professional image... i'll share it 😛

online profiles have basics, but not specifics. 🙂
